Case Files 27

Case Files is an ezine that profiles new or forthcoming novels from members of the Crime Writers’ Association.

Which CWA member sent the beginnings of a novel to HarperCollins when she was 12? They expressed a ‘polite interest’ back then, but now publish her ‘grown up’ novels. Karma.

Which CWA member, in her previous career as a film producer, auditioned Tom Hiddleston for a part – and didn’t give it to him? (She still stands by that decision.)
